We of the ENCOALA Staff present the 1956 edition of the ENCOALA as a living record of the school year 1955-56. This record could not be complete without some mention of Fort Rucker which has so much enriched our school and community life. It has brought us new students from far away places who have broadened our outlook and made valuable contributions to our school. It has brought a new prosperity to individual students as well as to the school as a whole. It a with this in mind that the ENCOALA Staff has worked to produce an annual which will be a joint tribute to Fort Rucker and to Enterprise High School. TITLE PAGE FOREWORD DEDICATION PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE FACULTY CITY BOARD FEATURES AND ORGANIZATIONS JUNIOR-SENIOR WORK DAY ORDERS OF THE DAY MR. J. W.

SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE The development of our relations with Fort Rucker began with the reactivation of this installation during the summer of 1954. Desirable impressions have been made upon the life of our community by the personnel and activities at the Fort. The students, as well as their parents who are connected with Fort Rucker, have been an asset to our schools and community in that they have generously and graciously shared their various experiences and talents with us. At present there are approximately six hundred students enrolled in our schools whose parents are either stationed at Fort Rucker or employed there. For this increase in enrollment, schools have bene- fited through donations by the Federal Government. The opportunity of participation in the planning of an educational program that will render greater and more efficient service to the people at Fort Rucker and to our local community is the desire of the Superintendent and Board of Education.
